According to Yamaguchi, he felt like the 1 More! system has not been fully utilized in boss battles in the series in general as you cannot exploit their weaknesses, hence the introduction of the Theurgy system. Aside from that, the Showtimes of Persona 5 Royal have been well-received, and wanted to add a similar action to that.

It is explained that even the Gothic font was a point they were particular about, incorporating both the modernity of Reload and the idea behind the original.[25]

Moving into a school dormitory, the protagonist soon becomes involved in a Shadow attack during this hour, awakening to his Persona in the process.

The new uniforms were also designed by Shimada. When approaching the remaster, she wanted to incorporate accents that would visually lift the player's mood, consulting original designer Shigenori Soejima in the process. Compared to before, where the cast was only equipped with an armband and holster, Shimada aimed for a sense of realism by adding more equipment.

New gameplay additions to the social simulation and role-playing portions of the game was introduced in Reload. The Iwatodai Dorm where the main party resides outside classes has been expanded upon with multiple activities to perform beyond the original game. The protagonist is now able to strike individual conversations with every dorm resident, cook food with resuscitative abilities in the dorm's kitchen, garden and tend plants at the dorm's entrance by feeding them nutrients periodically, rent out films to watch using a DVD player, as well as borrow and read books provided to the dorm by the school.

Earlier entries often get passed over when talking about the Persona series, and that’s because of Persona 3—this is the game that established the life simulation mechanics that have come to define Persona and set it apart from so many other JRPGs. 

Theurgy is a splashy new mechanic that you get around level 20: Signature attacks by each of your party members. You fill a gauge by meeting certain conditions, which are different for each character, you can unleash a special move. Take Yukari, for example: When her persona heals a party member, it fills the gauge until you can unleash a giant, multi-step bow attack that she does in concert with her persona.

’s story is dark and impactful, but it was originally told within the confines of certain gameplay conceits. I worry that the task of remaining faithful to the original will preclude the things I expect from a modern RPG.

Reload is fundamentally not the same game as last year's Persona 3 Portable PC: It's been completely rebuilt on the Unreal Engine, and it's gorgeous. The characters are 3D, fully present in social settings, but the lighting and shading remain painterly enough to maintain Persona's unique design style.

Additionally, class events where the protagonist instead becomes sleepy have been changed so that closing his eyes will increase his Courage stat.

Any available Social Links will now message the protagonist an invitation to hang out, rather than approach him during lunchtime at school.

Ainda qual agradeça a elevado margem do manobra, também sinto que se perdeu 1 pouco do peso esmagador do game original, do terror existencial de de que algo terrível estava para vir e que este tempo escasseava, ameaçando meter um ponto final precoce nas relações de que tinha com ESTES fantásticos personagens do game.
